May 12 (Renewables Now) - Ampt LLC, a US power conversion technology firm focused on the solar sector, has completed the delivery of string optimisers for a 240-MW solar-plus-storage project in Chile.
The company has supplied its products for use in a system in Atacama Desert plateau that generates and stores electricity to support the copper mining operations of Sierra Gorda SCM.
